Schedule Change, Latest Chapters Restructured, Refunds if Desired (Patreon)

For book-related stuff only, read bold.

To start, I'll say I'm really glad I took that break.

I've been able to keep writing through multiple surgeries, but when it came to this, I absolutely needed the time to stop blocking out my thoughts with work and games and just let my brain think itself to exhaustion. Per the advice of some relatives, I did no writing. That was immensely helpful not only for confronting tragedy squarely, but putting my own life into perspective. I'll spare you the sad musings about the funeral and related ceremonies, and share those instead with the people close to me. I don't care to burden you wonderful people with all my problems.

Bottom line, after this week, I'm bumping JAS down to three chapters a week to focus on other projects (MWF schedule).

I understand that may disappoint some people. The last thing I want to do is take money from people who aren't willing to give it to me. As such, any pledges made in the past 31 days will be refunded if you shoot me a message on Patreon.

Recent chapters have been renumbered. For T3 patrons, chapter 663 will be entirely new content. For T2 and T1 patrons, once 665 is uploaded, your schedule will resume as normal.

Ideally, I'll catch up and reach chapter 668 by this Sunday, but I won't rush myself anymore.

This is my first substantial deviation from the schedule in nearly two years, but I'm very glad I'm doing it. Hope you all can understand.
